Burn The Boats Lyrics by ​soundslikewest

2022

[Intro]
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. We are firemen! The heat doesn't bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we're at home, we're where we’re supposed to be. Flames don't intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flames
Ayy, yeah
[Refrain]
Knew it'd be happenin' just how I wrote (Sheesh)
Look up, you not even close (Close) (No)
Trust me, I seen it a long time ago
But back then, they say West blowin' smoke (Oh)
It's always the ones that be doin' the least
For some reason, they talkin' the most (Damn)
Jumped off the cliff, it ain’t no going back
To be Greek, I done just burned the boats (Yeah)
[Chorus]
She told me, “Baby, you blowing up”, I said, “I know it” (Yeah), mmm
I gotta stay on my path, I don’t talk, I just show it (Show, oh)
Won't let the women, the money, change me and my focus (No), mmm
Wait for my family, my people, that’s mando', you know it (Yeah)
[Verse]
Fuck all distractions, I'm chasin' my spot (Yuh)
Knew that the industry’d give me my shot
Don't get it twisted, that's not you, that's me (Go)
Plottin' for years what I've already seen
Burgundy red, pop it, pour it, and toast
Only been chasin' what I want most (Yeah)
Never forget how you got to the dance
Now I'm here, please don't act like we're close (Sheesh)
Who knew such thing as halfway
Lord knows I never turned into Cashét (Never)
Manifest Destiny, make what I see (Sheesh)
That's what you get when you're dealing with me
I'm crowdin' my hand, baby watchin' my moves
Seeing me winnin' is salt in the wound
Baby, they always have something to say
Prove it to no one, just do it for you (Woo)
Ooh, drop top coupe (Skrrt)
Bad lil' thang said she want me too
She know I'ma come up, penthouse view (Sheesh)
Her friends want to come, I said, “Bring them too”, yeah
Sold out show, I'ma kill that
The heat backstage, I'ma chill that
Half measures ain't never turned into Cashét
Comin' for the top spot, I'ma steal that (Sheesh)
A man of my word, always do what I say (What I say)
Never a price I ain't willing to pay (Willing to pay)
Burn all the boats, only way up is forward
Die trying to make it or make it away
[Refrain]
Knew it'd be happenin' just how I wrote (Sheesh)
Look up, you not even close (Close) (No)
Trust me, I seen it a long time ago
But back then, they say West blowin' smoke (Oh)
It's always the ones that be doin' the least
For some reason, they talkin' the most (Bitch)
Jumped off the cliff, it ain't no going back
To be Greek, I done just burned the boats (Sheesh)
[Chorus]
She told me, “Baby, you blowing up”, I said, “I know it” (Yeah), mmm
I gotta stay on my path, I don't talk, I just show it (Show, oh)
Won't let the women, the money, change me and my focus (No), mmm
Wait for my family, my people, that's mando', you know it (Yeah)
